Toxic Release Inventory
The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is a publicly available EPA database that contains information on toxic chemical releases and waste management activities reported annually by certain industries as well as federal facilities. This site allows you to research chemical release information by your county. There are a number of different searching abilities at this site
Toxic Release Inventory Data – Facility
The above site will allow you to see the chemicals released in your community by specific facilities. If you’d like to specifically see what carcinogens are released click on the site below. Just enter your state and county to access your data- not your zipcode. (Zipcode searches limit your access to information.)
Toxic Release Inventory Data – Facility – OSHA Carcinogens
Toxic Release Inventory Data – Chemicals
The above site will allow you to see the specific chemicals released in your community. Make sure you enter your state and county to access your data – not your zipcode.
Superfund Site Information
Superfund Site Information contains information on hazardous waste sites, potentially hazardous waste sites and remedial activities across the nation, including sites that are on the National Priorities List (NPL) or being considered for the NPL. To assist in locating the desired site or information, a variety of search criteria are available such as site name, state, ZIP code, contaminants and activities performed at a site. Also, site-specific documents and records such as Records of Decision (RODs), Five-Year Reviews and fact sheets for many sites can be accessed through Superfund Site Information. A search of sites that have been archived from the inventory of active sites can be performed. At the top of the Search page, select the “Archived Sites” radio button.
Superfund Information by State
Here is the Environmental Health TOXMAP
Here is the National Drinking Water Database. This allows you to cross reference information and enables you to see the facilities directly responsible for contaminating your water supplies.
National Drinking Water Database
What’s in your water?
The Environmental Working Group compiled almost 20 million records obtained from state water officials to make it easier for you to find out what is in your water. Throughout the country, they discovered 316 chemicals in tap water.
Curious about what is in your local water supply?
If you’re thinking “I want to know what’s in MY tap water!” then simply search using your zip code on the search box to the right after clicking on the National Drinking Water Database link above. You’ll then be asked to select your local water utility (more than one utility often serves a single zip code).
Once you discover what chemicals are in your local water supply, visit EWG’s online water filter guide to pick a filter that will reduce your exposure to those chemicals.

EPA ToxRefDB (Toxicity Reference Database)
ToxRefDB (Toxicity Reference Database) captures thousands of in vivo animal toxicity studies on hundreds of chemicals. The database: Stores detailed study design, dosing, and observed treatment-related effects using standardized vocabulary. Provides detailed chemical toxicity data, for the first time, in a publically accessible and searchable format. Enables linkages to other public hazard, exposure and risk resources by integrating with ACToR (Aggregated Computational Toxicology Resource). Captures over 30 years and $2 billion of animal testing results. Connects to another EPA chemical screening tool called ToxCast, a multi-year, multi-million dollar effort that uses advanced science tools to help efficiently (~$20K per chemical) understand biological processes impacted by chemicals that may lead to adverse health effects.
